What Are Braces
and How Do They Work?

Braces are orthodontic tools designed to correct various dental issues such as crowding, crooked teeth, and misalignments. This treatment is a tried and true option for kids, teens and adults looking to improve their smile and overall oral health.

At OASECT, we exclusively offer advanced Damon self-ligating braces, which use brackets with a unique sliding mechanism to secure the archwire. This wire, periodically adjusted during your visits to our office, applies constant, gentle pressure, guiding your teeth into their ideal positions over time with enhanced precision and comfort. 

Whether you’re dealing with spacing issues, overbites, or underbites, braces provide a proven and effective solution for a healthier, happier smile.

The Different Types of Braces

Choosing the right type of braces is a critical step in your orthodontic journey. With advancements in technology, today’s braces are more efficient and comfortable than ever. Whether you’re looking for subtlety, convenience, or a powerful solution for complex alignment issues, Dr. O’Leary and Dr. Hack can help you select the best option.
